Scale parameter in families

[mmiles]

I have a nice revolve which i used for a post (baluster) family, and have used it to define a handrail. I have a need to create the same baluster at a 25% increase in overall size (height and diameter). the scaling part is simple, but I end up with a 2nd family.

I was wondering if it is possible to create a parameter to control the size of my Revolve. IThat was I could have multiple types, in one family. If yes, then can anyone provide tips on how to make it work? Thanks.

What i would do, instead of making a 2nd family, would be to copy that revolve within the same family, scale it up, and ad a visibilty parameter to it so that you can toggle it on and off as you need, so when one comes on, the other turns off, and vice-versa. This would keep it in one family, but still give the ability to have the different scales shown as needed.

visibilty parameter to it so that you can toggle it on and off as you need, so when one comes on, the other turns off, and vice-versa.

azmz3, I was just wondering whether you could tell me how to write the formula to enable this to happen. I'm guessing it is an IF formula but I wouldn't know where to start.

You use conditional (yes/no) parameter to control the visibility of each version.
